A pregnant woman underwent an emergency C-section after a bus accident on a highway in Minas Gerais, Brazil, early Tuesday morning (8). She also had her arm amputated.
An unidentified pregnant woman had her arm amputated following a bus accident. She underwent an emergency C-section to save her baby, who is currently in stable condition in a neonatal intensive care unit.
The woman, eight months pregnant, was taken to a hospital for the procedures.
She was traveling on a bus carrying 53 passengers. Survivors of the crash reported that the driver was in a hurry and driving at high speed.
“He was driving very fast and couldn’t brake; the bus flipped suddenly,” said Alex Batista de Matos. Authorities conducted a breathalyzer test and found no traces of alcohol in the driver’s system.
Ten people died at the scene, and one died later in the hospital. Two of the victims were children. Major Fabrício Silva Araújo of the Minas Gerais Fire Department believes the ejected victims were not wearing seat belts.
The company responsible for the route stated it is cooperating with the investigation and will provide assistance to the families.
